Sec. 21.58  Physical examination for reappointment.

    Every officer of the Reserve Corps being considered for 
reappointment shall undergo such physical examination as the Surgeon 
General may direct. An officer on active duty may be recommended for 
reappointment unless he is found to have a physical disability which is 
determined to render him physically unfit to perform the duties of his 
office under section 402 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, as 
amended. An officer may be recommended for promotion only if he meets 
the physical qualifications for original appointment. If an officer is 
not available to be physically examined because of circumstances which 
make it impracticable for the Service to require such examination, he 
may, in the discretion of the Surgeon General, be reappointed without 
such examination, but shall be examined as soon thereafter as 
practicable and his physical qualification or disqualification for 
continued or future active service shall be determined on the same basis 
as if the physical examination had been given prior to reappointment.
